Theoretical framework
1.
2. Theories are constructed in order to
explain, predict and master phenomena
(e.g. relationships, events, or the
behavior). In many instances we are
constructing models of reality.
A theory makes generalizations about
observations and consists of an
interrelated, coherent set of ideas and
models.
3.
4. The theoretical framework of the
study is a structure that can hold
or support a theory of a research
work. It presents the theory which
explains why the problem under
study exists.
Thus, the theoretical framework is
but a theory that serves as a basis
for conducting research.
5. It helps the researcher see clearly the
variables of the study;
It can provide him with a general
framework for data analysis;
It is essential in preparing a research
proposal using descriptive and
experimental methods
Purpose:
6. Formulating a Theoretical
Framework
Authoritative theories must be
presented
Identify the important concepts
Always mention the theory that will
be utilized;
By giving assumptions , defining key
terms and concepts, identifying the
variables, and stating the
relationship of the hypothesized
variables.
7.
8. ASSUMPTIONS
Are statements related to the problem
Provide a basis to develop theories
Influence the development and
implement of research process
Butt
9. Statements that are often taken
for granted or CONSIDERED
true, even though they have not
been scientifically tested.
Principles that are accepted as
being true based on logic or
reasons, but without proof or
verification.
